Conclusion and outlook for portfolio quality

      GDP in Germany and euro area has returned to positive territory. For the year as a whole, the German economy is
       expected to grow by 3 % and the euro area by 4.5 %. However, the risk of pandemic -related setbacks remains.

      Thanks to the good quality of its portfolio, Helaba performed strongly in the first half of 2021 with virtually no significan t
       credit defaults. Helaba continues to actively manage risks in sectors that have been particularly badly affected by the
       crisis and is therefore in a good position to respond to further developments.

      Forward-looking risk provisioning at portfolio level against a backdrop of continuing uncertainty with regard to how
       pandemic will develop and resulting effects on credit risks. R isk situation should improve in second half of 2021.

      In a stress test conducted in pandemic-hit year, Helaba once again proved to be a stable institution and met the
       minimum regulatory requirements in stress scenario. Helaba's stress effect is slightly below that of its peer group
       (BayernLB, DZ Bank, LBBW).

      Total risk provisioning for year as a whole expected to be below previous year's level .

Outlook

                                        Thanks to the broadly positive performance in operating activities in
                                         the first six months of 2021, we are confident that business will
                                         develop well until the end of the year
                                        However, over the further course of the year, the Covid-19 pandemic
                                         will continue to impact the macroeconomic environment
                                        In addition, interest rates will remain low
                                        With its business model and strategic agenda, Helaba remains in a
                                         strong position to meet these challenges
                                        We anticipate that we will be able to generate a consolidated net
                                         profit for 2021 that is significantly higher than the previous year's
